Chapter 218

"What if it's for self-protection?" Bai Xiuran said calmly.

If a person's life is threatened, it is understandable to use a dagger to protect himself.

But he has a clear mind, and he has already seen that many people don't care what the truth is, and only want to convict them.

Is this aimed at him?Or the Gu family?

It has been a few days since he came back. He has also heard about the undercurrents and intricate network of relationships in Xiangling City. In the court, someone has already made a fuss about his amnesia, impeaching him and letting him retire. Stop it, and he behaved the same as before he lost his memory, how could those people be so willing to let it go.

From the Gu family, it was said that many people had secretly sought out his father-in-law. As for what was going on, he couldn't make wild guesses until he found out.

only……

His eyes glanced over Qin Yan'er inadvertently, hey, he could allow her to hurt himself, but he couldn't allow her to hurt Qing Zhi.

"Joke, Miss Qin is a weak woman, how could she be able to deal with her." Mrs. Wu spoke sharply, "Look, everyone, does Miss Qin look like a murderer?"

Looking at the shivering woman on the ground, then at Gu Qingzhi with a meaningless face.

Everyone turned to Qin Yan'er again.

Facing the piercing gaze, Gu Qingzhi felt amused in his heart: "Who is more miserable than the other, and who is the victim?"

"Hmph, I still want to argue." Mrs. Wu looked at her disdainfully.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Zhao hurried over in surprise.

During the day, Qin Yan'er ran away crying, and she sent someone to look for it. The person said that Miss Qin wanted to be quiet and let her come back.

Mrs. Zhao thought that although the child was weak, she was tougher than anyone else, so she probably wouldn't commit suicide.

Unexpectedly, she was exhausted, so she went back in a sedan chair at night, and just halfway there, someone caught up and said that Qin Yan'er had an accident and was almost killed, and the murderer was Gu Qingzhi.

"Mother." Qin Yan'er just raised her head, her face was covered with tears, her little face was pale and pale.

Mrs. Zhao looked distressed, then turned her head and glared at Bai Xiuran: "Nizi, are you going to protect her?"

Bai Xiuran is silent...

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Zhao said yes twice in a row, "If you protect her today, I will make a scene with the Holy Majesty, and I will give Yan'er justice. From now on, the Bai family will not have a son like you."

The atmosphere was frozen to the extreme for a moment, and everyone was watching the joke.

"Miss Gu, can I ask why you hurt someone with a dagger?" Jiang Zhengfeng stepped forward and asked Gu Qingzhi.

"Can I say it?" Gu Qingzhi's mouth was ironic, and he didn't look at Jiang Zhengfeng, but at Qin Yan'er.

The shivering person on the ground froze, suddenly lost consciousness, and fell to the ground.

"Yan'er, Yan'er." Mrs. Zhao held Qin Yan'er in her arms and called out nervously a few times: "Quick, doctor."

"You actually threatened Miss Qin." Mrs. Wu pointed at Gu Qingzhi and said indignantly.

"Threat?" Gu Qingzhi seems to have heard some funny words: "Madam, I can threaten people even when I stand so far away? Could it be that I was the one who scared that Miss Qin choked to death while eating?"

"Look, you speak so viciously that you actually curse people to death." Mrs. Wu despised her more and more, "If you hadn't threatened her with words just now, how could Miss Qin faint from fright."

"Tsk, I just realized today that there is nothing wrong with wanting to impose a crime. You don't even give me an excuse, so you want to convict me? Is this the way Tianluo's law is?" Gu Qingzhi slowly glanced around at the men. : "The people present here should all be officials ordered by the imperial court. Don't you all judge cases like this?"

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, so what else do you have to argue with?" Master Deng interjected.

"Since we're talking about the evidence, it shouldn't be the concubine who saw Qingzhi committing the crime." Bai Xiuran suddenly took the words.

"What does Prime Minister mean?" Mr. Deng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Although this place is a bit remote, there are so many people today, someone should have seen this scene." Bai Xiuran said calmly.

Zhao Mingqing was only looking at Bai Xiuran squarely at this moment. Could it be that he had discovered something?
"Yes, there are so many people today, someone must have seen everything." Jiang Zhengfeng agreed. He just asked Gu Qingzhi, but many people had preconceived ideas and blindly thought that Gu Qingzhi wanted to kill Qin Yan'er, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingzhi would do it. what motive.

If Bai Xiuran lived in Gu's mansion for her because of love, what could explain Gu Qingzhi's position in Bai Xiuran's heart better than this.

Besides, today Bai Xiuran had already stated in front of everyone that he would not marry Qin Yan'er. Logically speaking, the Miss Qin family should be more resentful.

Of course, these are just his inferences, and there is no evidence yet, so it is not easy to say anything casually.

"Okay, everyone should be here, then you ask, who has seen all of them?" Mr. Deng said sarcastically, "Mr. I will definitely return this matter to justice in front of the holy majesty."

"I heard people arguing all the way away, what happened?" Fifth Princess Zhao Qianxun led a little girl over, the girl behind was holding a jar of wine and lowered her head, no one dared to look at it.

"Qianxun, come here." Huo Xiangxue beckoned, she had a good relationship with the fifth princess, but now she is the sixth princess with different identities, calling her name.

Zhao Qianxun didn't go there, but looked at Gu Qingzhi with disgust and said, "Tsk, I haven't seen you for a while, and you've caused trouble again."

"How can I be the one who caused the trouble? It's clear that the disaster came from the sky, and I'm forced to take the blame." At this time, Gu Qingzhi still didn't forget to tease him.

"Princess, don't listen to her nonsense. There are rumors in the market that she is good at Gu skills, and even the parents who are fascinated by someone don't recognize her. You should be careful." Mr. Deng pointed out.

Gu Qingzhi tried her best to resist the urge to roll her eyes. Does she have any sworn feud with this person?

He insisted on putting her to death.

"Master Deng, do you still believe this?" Zhao Qianxun asked softly.

Lord Deng: "It's groundless, it may not be false."

"Qianxun, what are you doing here?" Zhao Mingqing opened his mouth and asked.

"Ah, I'm here to explain everyone's confusion, Xuan'er, tell everyone, I asked you to deliver wine, what did you see?" Zhao Qianxun pushed the little girl behind her out, she knew Gu Qingzhi's love The wine must be good wine, thinking that it would be inappropriate for Gu Qingzhi to spend the whole day with him and continue looking for her tomorrow, so he asked the girl beside him to send over an unopened jar of good wine as a thank you gift.

Unexpectedly, the little girl went to hold the wine jar, and then hurried back with the wine jar.

After stammering and telling what had happened, she rushed over.

"I was ordered by the princess to bring wine to Miss Gu, and I saw a lady pulling Miss Gu, saying that she wanted to ruin Miss Gu's face, so that Prime Minister Bai would not like Miss Gu, and then pinched Miss Gu's neck , let Miss Gu die..."

"Little girl, you can't just make up your words." Master Deng suddenly warned, startling the speaker, his face turned pale, and he looked at Zhao Qianxun timidly, wondering if he should say more.

"Master Deng, are you threatening?" Gu Qingzhi asked innocently. She was repaying the other with the same means. Just now, the lord said that she was threatening Qin Yan'er. real intimidation.

"Master Deng, let this girl continue talking." Yao Congcheng took over the words, "Girl, continue talking."

"Just tell what you see, don't be afraid." Zhao Qianxun also spoke.

Only then did the little girl calm down, "Then Miss Gu wanted to resist, and the two of them tugged and went to the water's edge. I saw Miss Gu take out a dagger from her sleeve and force the lady back, and then the lady He retreated by himself, and when he fell into the water, he shouted for help, and in the end, many people shouted to kill..."

After speaking, there was a dead silence all around...

"Hahahahaha..."

It was an abrupt laugh, but it was extremely hearty, which meant that the owner who laughed out loud was very happy.

The faces of many people became more and more ugly, and the laughter was like a loud slap on their faces. Just now, they all thought that Gu Qingzhi was the murderer, and she was a vicious woman.

Even if she refuted it, no one would believe it.

After all they only believe what they see.

The faces of the women headed by Huo Xiangxue turned blue and white, and finally turned red hot.

"Hmph, how can one believe what one person says?" That Mrs. Wu made the last sophistry.

"My lady, what kind of grudge do I have with you? You're always throwing shit at me." Gu Qingzhi asked.

"Hmph." Mrs. Wu turned her face away without answering.

"A little girl's words may not be true." The Sixth Prince said suddenly, and some flatterers echoed.

But some sensible people are silent. The matter is considered over at this point, and it has nothing to do with Gu Qingzhi, but some people refuse to let go. Why?
The reason for this is very puzzling.

"I'm stupid, I don't know what is true?" Bai Xiuran cupped his hands at the sixth prince, as if asking for advice.

Not only everyone was surprised, even Gu Qingzhi was a little surprised.

He would never directly contradict anyone, but today for her, he directly contradicted the current Sixth Prince.

"Perhaps, it is true that people with high status speak. After all, people speak softly." Although Gu Qingzhi said with a smile, every word was like a needle, piercing people.

What the officials and wives said just now was believed by others, but now someone came to explain the truth, and was questioned just because the other party was a maid, which is really ridiculous and sad.

More people are silent, this can be regarded as an unspoken rule.

The Sixth Prince's complexion was a little bad, and what these two people said made him unable to get off the table.

"Crack~!"

There was a sound of clapping, and Gu Qingzhi clapped his hands. His patience was exhausted. The fire that had been suppressed just now was on the verge of erupting. She has never been the one to be bullied. Let's go to the Holy Master to judge, if I am innocent, the person who just uttered evil words must apologize to me, if I am a murderer, I will take this life."

What she said was powerful and upright, which further set off the dirtyness of some people.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Zhao Qianxun admired her temper.

In Mrs. Zhao's arms, the eyelids of a fainted person twitched involuntarily, and this scene happened to be seen by Mrs. Zhao. She felt a chill in her heart, as if she understood something.

"Miss Gu, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. Since that little girl has already told you the truth, she has given you justice. Do you still want to be aggressive?" Huo Xiangxue said unhurriedly, showing off her princess airs.

"My concubine's words are wrong. If this girl hadn't told the truth for me just now, would I still be charged with the crime of attempted murder, and would you all still label me the crime of being vicious and bullying?" Gu Qing When Zhi said that her heart was vicious, she deliberately emphasized her tone, because just now, many people said that she was a vicious woman, "You said that if I was hit by this and fell into a slump, or because I was wronged, I couldn't think of committing suicide, are you all responsible? ? Some words are much more powerful than the dagger in my hand, hurting people invisible!"

Jiang Zhengfeng and Yao Congcheng held back their smiles, and today they have only seen each other. This Miss Gu's eloquence is eloquent, and every sentence makes sense, making it impossible to refute.

The two of them glanced at Bai Xiuran, no wonder Prime Minister Bai insisted on her.
